And thus TBC Ends, both in a Bang and in a Whimper
As most of you will have seen already, Kil’Jaeden is down, and the PvE content of the Burning Crusade is now complete.
Two things strike me, first, it was SK Gaming who got the world first, putting an end to 25 months of Nihilum dominance. Congratulations.
Jumping the Wrath Gun?
The WoW community is currently subjected to a wave of commentary, analysis and speculation about so-called leaked talent information from the Wrath Alpha. Already the indignation runs high in some circles, while those rumours get dissected and rejected by the interested parties.

Some Thoughts on Guild Management
